not to get anyones hopes up but my steam just started downloading a 4.9 GB update about a minute ago.......... THIS could be it!

Thank you BIS for keeping us updated, As i have said before and will say again. Things like this happen, it's ok i and many other appreciate you keeping us up to date as you go and all of your hard work. THANK YOU!

Thank you BIS for the hard work. we understand issues like these happen.

will the be there ability to add ranks within the unit? not just preset ranks but also to be able to make your own?

no, i gather that they were taking public mods and removing keys and asking 30$ for a expedited joining process and that caiden's responses were poor at best and he was caught in MANY lies along the way. however if you read all 72 pages as i have done you will see many people dissing ALL LIFE servers and anything that isnt hardcore bot killin (AI) milsim ;) go back re-read then respond

First off glad to see that A3L has been flushed down the shitter. SADLY, a few other (communities) have stepped in to replace it. As of right now im sitting on about 2337 hours of arma 3 play time, I have played MANY different types from the MILSIM to CTI, LIFE, ZOMBIES, you name it ive played it. I didnt buy arma3 to be in a milsim group, i unlike many joined the marines in 05 and fought a few little known battle with 2/3 F. So naturally i found a place with the 15th MEU and after a few weeks there i left laughing my ass off at people that had never served a day leading people and telling them (This is how they do it in the marines) LOL most of them would literally die if they did a PT test. SO, after bouncing around i found a nice community called blackwing gaming and it was an altis life community and i had ALOT of fun there, eventually i got into the PD and helped put together a good group of cops and we had a blast! Gunfights,funny situations,raids, you name it we did it. so after about 3 months there i donated 50$ to help out and received nothing in return really. I mean there was a donator shop that would sell the same gear you could get anywhere but at a 10% discount which i thought was fair. blackwing was running 4 servers 3 game 1 TS off of 2 boxes and a strong DDos package which ran them about 600$ US a month so i felt like helping out. Now i have been following this post since the day it was made and i was pretty angered to see that people were putting down LIFE communities and some even saying they should not be allowed to exist.... IN FACT if you play on a life server and come here people look donw on you and put you down. Id like to point a few things out. NOWHERE have a seen better shooters and well rounded arma3 warriors than on life servers PVP on life servers is intense and fast and AGAINST ANOTHER PLAYER!! MOST to almost ALL milsim communities battle various forms of AI (sorry not real enough for me) Also, stop reading here right now.. go to twitch and click the arma3 tab but first notice that arma3 is in the top 4 rows........guess what........ it stays there! because of LIFERS!! and zombies and BattleRoyale's......... NOW that you are browsing the A3 page try to find a milsim stream... come on.... you can do it......... oh wait there wasnt any was there? yeh........ likely not SO, yeh as of right now arma 3 has sold just over 2 MILLION COPIES!!! id bet my ass that over half were because of LIFE MODS!! EXILE and other zombie mods are likely 2nd. but most people buy arma 3 because you can DO ANYTHING with it!!! you can milsim,or life,or kill zombies. its up to you. Another things for the decision making challenged people, dont donate to a community until you have been there for a few months.

LOL mil-sim or not it doesn't take anyone of a SUPER intelligence to figure out that Life based modes and MODS have sold more copies of arma3 than any mil-sim group would.if you dont believe me then go to twitch, see whats being streamed for arma3 right now most is life based modes. then go to youtube see which videos have the most views for arma3 i bet my life you will see the same there. runner up would be some of the zombie mods. love it or hate it arma 3 has a good feeling engine and the fact they allow people to do whatever they want with it makes it bring in ALOT of people. to say that the game is a MILSIM makes no sense at this point as its proven day after day to be much more then that. just a few months ago tonic reported to have over 1100 life servers up using his framework. the game has been missing more civ based items anyhow. ... BUT i like the map so far, would like to see something bigger but oh well at this point ill take just about anything.

thanks guys

Looking for a script that i can add to an ammo box or crate that will allow players that join my server to select from a few pre determined loadouts and it auto apply the loadout to them once selected. so basically player connects at spawn walks up to a box selects the loadout they want and it gives the items to them. have searched around and cant seem to find anything.

ehhh, not really. the donation system works well. most life servers have a good donation setup... when i had my server anyone that donated to us got added to the donor list and we had a shop for donators and in that shop was the same items everyone else could buy for IN GAME money not RW money but the donator shop had those items at a discount... also we had a donator garage where you could get you car fixed for free and everyone else had to pay 200$ in-game money.. BUT in A3L's case you can see that this donation system is/was being used to simply get into the server.

so, after following this thread for a few days i have gathered this much. It appears that they have broken little to no rules because BI's rules are and the licenses are very vague. They stole from a community that helps promote a game that in itself is very watered down (Google VBS3 VS ARMA3 you will cry) actually if not for people like tonic and other content creators A3 wouldn't really have a multi-player side of things. After they stole, the profited GREATLY. with the help of stolen mods. the made thousands. <---Clear enough? BI's stance is kinda non existent in my opinion... So i have to ask, WHAT is gonna stop other people from doing the same thing? When will enough be enough? honestly it seems like the door was just opened for any team of Dirtnecks that want to compile others work (with or without) permission and charge people to play THE NEW AND AMAZING game mode with the subtle title of (EXPRESS application lane, or reserved slot seat in our ride to hell) or whatever phony name they can concoct at the time. Here is my full and uncut opinion, BI dont turn your back on people that spend HOURS, WEEKS, MONTHS in front of a screen making something that Improves your game. Grow a spine and smash these clowns. Punish them so severely that they never walk right again (not really but, you know). Set an example, make a clear statement that theft of others work and these so called (donations for services) will not be tolerated. I hope to rattle some cages with this statement and for good reason. BI stand up for those that have supported your game through thick and thin, you have a great community with ALOT of talent and this may be just the straw that breaks the camels back in terms of people cutting back on great content only for the reason of it being stolen and profited on and you do NOTHING about it.

So, has there been any official word from Bohemia yet?
